View 2 Repliesthis problem affects my Flex 3 app when it is being viewed using Firefox for Mac. If the user drags the scrollbar then releases the mouse OUTSIDE THE BROWSER, the scrollbar doesn't get released and continues to scroll the content once the user rolls the mouse back over the Flex content.

View 1 RepliesHow can I make the Scrollbar on my datagrid invisible?
dg.verticalScrollBar.visible = false; Does not work
Also how do I scroll to a specific Index on my datagrid?
I'm sure this question has been discussed before? I'm wondering how I can make this particular scrollbar invisible when the text inside is short and visible when the text is longer? What would be the AS for this? I'll attach my file to this post!!

View 3 RepliesI have one button instance that stretches across many frames, and I would like to make it invisible in some of the frames and visible in others. How do I do this with ActionScript 3?
View 1 RepliesIm a bit a of a noob when it comes to AS. I have a problem that I think should be very easy to solve.
I have a shape that I turned into a button and gave it an instance name of "CA" I also have an array that has a string item called "CA"
I want to be able to make the button invisible by using the array instead of just writing the instance name. I have the following code but it just doesnt work.

I've built an image scroller but I'd like to make the 'next' and 'previous' buttons invisible at the first and last frames frames respectively. The code I'm using for the scroll is below. I think the code I'm after should be something like this:
HTML Code:
if (targetX<720) {
btn_Previous.visible = false;
}
But I can't work out where I should put it (or even if it's correct) within the scroller code.

portion of a movieClip invisible with AS?For instance, make the 200 first vertical (y-pos) pixels invisible on a movieClip thats 500 pixels high?
View 3 RepliesIm creating a simple flash presentation and i have created four buttons, what i want to now do is make each button go to a differant frame on the timeline, im guessing this is go to and stop? But i cant figure it out [URL]
View 1 RepliesI have a button inside a movie clip that when pressed it launches another movie clip. That part works great. The problem I'm having now is either removing the original movie clip or at the very least making it invisible when the next movie launches. So far for my button script this is what I have:
onRollOver=function(){
this.gotoAndPlay("_over");
};
onRollOut=function(){

I have a movieClip called "button" within another movieClip called "movie1_mc" I want the "button" movieclip, which also loads XML on frame 12 of "movie1_mc to vanish on or after frame 13
This is the code I have in place but, "button" movieClip isn't disappearing. This is my first time using XML and Flash
//Code to "button movieClip disappear//
if (_root._currentframe == 13) {var linkname:Array = [_visible=false];}
I'm having trouble targeting elements of an array using AS3. I have five buttons in an array named botons.
var botons:Array = [boton_1, boton_2, boton_3, boton_4, boton_5];
Each button goes to a different page, but they all are on the same layer like navigation bar. When page 1 is visited button 1 should be invisible and the others visible. When on page 2, button 2 should be invisible but all others visible.
I used the following to make the entire array invisible and it works.
for(var i:int; i<clips.length;i++){botons[i].visible=false;}
How can I make each button invisible when visiting its page, but make the rest visible?
I have twenty movieclips on stage with these names:
g1
g2
g3
g4
....
How can I make invisible with a for loop, like
for (i = 1; i < 20; i++) {
g+i.visible=false;
}
This that not work.
I'm having trouble working with buttons in an array. I would like to target specific button and make it invisible while the others remain visible. Each buttons goes to a page (first, second, third, etc.). There are five buttons named button1... button5. I'm using AS3 in timeline.
Problem: when I click a button, it doesn't get invisible and I get this message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at subtraction_fla::MainTimeline/goPNext()
Here is my script:
stop();
var button= [button1, button2, button3, button4, button5];
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPNext);

I've made a drawn menu with curves in my root. This menu loads dynamically swf into an empty container mc. Within some of these swfs, there are full page image galleries. However, the drawn curves seem to stick on top of these swf: I can still see them although the rest of the content is invisible. Now I want to make those curves also invisible...
Code:
//API AND LINES//
box2.lineStyle (1, 0xff00ff,0);
box2.beginFill(0xCCCCCC,0);
box2.moveTo(0,0);
[code]....
Now I want to realise a function in an externally loaded swf that makes these lines/curves invisible. i was thinking myself of something like
Code:
btImages.onPress = function (){
_root.line.lineStyle(0.5,0xCCCCCC,0);
gotoAndStop (3);
}
But unfortunately thsi doesnt work.
I have several movieclips placed on the timeline that I want to be invisible and not run until the user clicks a button. The movieclips are linked to a class I set up:
Code:
class Hidestop extends MovieClip {
function onLoad() {
[Code]....
The problem is that some, but not all, movieclips show briefly when they load before becoming invisible. I can get around this by starting each movieclip with a blank frame, but there must be a better way.
I have a movie clip which has a dynamic mask applied to it to provide a scroll effect.
The mask is generated with the 'create blank movieclip' method.
So the mask is a movie clip over a movie clip.
I hunted for invisible text last night and found this link [URL]
which implies it's to do with the mask being on a layer, but from what I can gather from reading the AS, it's not it's on a new blank movie clip.
Also many other links I found all imply it's an issue with dynamic text and the font needs to be embeded, but the underlying text is not dynamic, it's static normal text which has been used in a movieclip to create animated rollover/out effects.
So why is the text missing when the content is scrolled into view?
If you hover over where the text is supose to be, the animation plays and the text becomes visible?
Also the arrow graphic next to the text which forms part of the animation does display; it's just the text portion which is invisible?
how to make a movieclip invisible so I can use it as an invisible button?
View 3 RepliesI have a movie into which I am loading external swfs. this all works fine but some of the content is duplicated and where there is slimline text it shows that there are two layers. see the header on white here:
how can i set the alpha to 0 or remove the host movieclip, from the externally loaded swf. does that make sense? so once the external swf has loaded into the empty movieclip then the parent movie disappears.
I am just trying to make a button disappear using a variable set to it's instance name. When I say invisible I also mean deactivated. The code I've got is this..
Code:
[test]_visible = false;
but it doesn't work - any offers?
i have a few buttons that use loadmovienum to load a few clips into levels. The code on each button is something similar to:
on(release){ loadMovieNum("print_index.swf",1);printbutton._visible = false;webbutton._visible = false;illusbutton._visible = false;threedbutton._visible = false;retouchbutton._visible = false;}
But because the print_index movie slowly scrolls across the stage rather than immediately replace it, there is a moment where the button turns completely invisible after the click. Perhaps the bigger problem is that it doesnt make any of the accompanying buttons invisible like it is supposed to- only the one that is clicked.
This is the scenario:
[AS]
// Assuming a lot more properties are added to all objects
var parent:Object = new Object();
var kid:Object = new Object();
var kidToy = new Object();
[code]....
Does making the parent object null recursively release all memory used by all subordinates in the hierarchy?
people I am a newbie here, I need help and explanation in making a scrollbar like the one in[URL]... I know a slider and a textbox is needed but I need to know the trick behind it.
View 1 Repliesjust wondering if anyone could give me a kickstart with any tutorials or anything? i was hoping to make one like the flashloaded one etc..
aiming to make it work with dynamic text though
I am currently making a site that uses [URL] old fullscreen scrollbar. It's really perfect. I was just wondering how hard it would be to implement some sort of scrollTo function. For example, I would have all of the content inside the scrollbar window. In this content, I would have a list of movieclips acting as buttons that would scroll to a specific y value (all of which would be in say 200px increments). so I would love to have a simple function where I could execute scrollTo(n); where n=a givin y value. Basically acting as HTML anchor tags. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard, but the code is a bit over my head. Here is the code (the fla is located at [URL]

Underlined Text On (rollOver) Is there an action script to do on (rollover) underline text? It would be on a button that would also, on (release) gotoAndPlay a frame. I know you can have a movie with AS like this:
[Code]....
But when I add the on (release) to the movie it doesnt advance the timeline on (release). And when I change the file to a button instead of a movie clip it doesnt do the underline on (rollOver).
Is it possible to create a invisible mc with in 2 other invisible mc's and if so would there be any complications. Im trying to do something similar and it gets to the second layer but then doesnt want to load the third inv-mc. Like loading an external swf to a container mc then in that same mc have another external load and then another.
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a small application that uses some throw physics to fling items around the stage. Everything is working as it should, apart from when I test it on my touch screen, the throw physics don't work. I've tried all sorts of things, in in those tests noticed that AS2 release and release outside do work on the screen perfectly, whereas mouse up and mouse out do not!
So, is there a way to emulate the AS2 mouse events in AS3, as I have to stick with AS3 this time.
how I would convert this vertical scrollbar into a horizontal scrollbar
heres the code:
onClipEvent (load) {
diff_y = bound_box._height-scroller._height;
bounds = bound_box.getBounds(this);
top = bounds.yMin+(scroller._height/2);
bottom = bounds.yMax-(scroller._height/2);
